I was into RED for a while, but the proprietary stuff eventually made me step back.

Then you'd probably like DSMC3.  Standard batteries, standard CF Express cards, etc.

If the CFE card isn't on the compatibility list, you'll get a warning, but then the camera will let you try to record whatever quality you want.

2021? More than a decade later. Well, too late for me then... :- )

Very witty. If WW III starts, photographers with drones can then make films about it, so drones may be very useful. 

I would imagine the operation of unapproved drones can be shut down in the US territory based on GPS data, so IMO it would be pretty risky to invest in equipment that is not approved.

i'm not sure what the government could do to shut them down, but DJI's app uses/needs GPS and I could see them threatening to fine/sanction DJI if they don't geofence out non-approved drones.

But at this point, I don't think there are any existing DJI products that aren't approved.
